Re: Rank your favorite voice casts
In any case it's a well known fact that the Westwood dub was a chaotic production, and I don't think its fair to judge the cast based on it, as I believe they did the best job possible given the circumstances, Funimation's original Z dub isn't any better. As far as acting goes I would go far as say...

Re: Dragon Ball and Centrism disguised as "A Desire for works to stop being political"
Comics and other mediums for telling stories should absolutely take our political leaders and make fun of them and how pathetic they are, actually. This is how art has been made since...the beginning of time. Also mocking political figures is one of the most milquetoast forms of satire. Imagine clu...

Re: Selecta Visión Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray
It's really baffling that Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT, hasn't got a Blu-ray release in Japan. Movies has been available on Blu-ray, despite some editing on certain movies, but not the TV series. Pretty much almost every major anime has gotten Blu-ray (HD remastered or SD-upscale)...

Re: The CW's ratings have officially reached rock bottom.
Physical Media has its uses that streaming doesn't provide (namely you own it). There really isn't anything cable provides that you don't get from streaming. I wouldn't really compare the two. As someone that owns hundreds of DVDs and Blu-Rays, and has easily spent four figures on Dragon Ball relea...

Re: The reason Goku stayed dead that no one talks about
Well damn, it's almost like context matters. He was happily going on his next adventure. Nobody on earth was grieving for the loss and pretty much accepted it.
Media literacy is dead, I swear to god.

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?
I've given up on shows after 1 episode because of how disinterested I was in what was going on. These days I'm more of a movie guy anyways. But my general rule is to at least try for 3 episodes. I do get that some shows do take a while to get going. Telling someone they have to get through 200 episo...

Re: The reason Goku stayed dead that no one talks about
Furthermore, it's OOC for Goku to suddenly care about the Earth, when he was willing to doom the entire Universe in the next arc just to have a good fight with Kid Buu. I'd actually say it's quite clear from early on Goku cares a lot about the Earth. In the Pilaf arc (and to an extent the Red Ribbo...

Re: The CW's ratings have officially reached rock bottom.
I remember in the dark ages (around 2014) 700K on a network show would have gotten you cancelled faster than you can say Kaioken. Now it's apparently ratings gold?

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
Either way, I hope transformations take a huge backseat. They're an absolute tension killer and story breaker, and I don't want them back unless they do a good damn job developing the characters first. If they're really trying to recapture the feeling of pre-Daimao Dragon Ball, I hope they don't in...

Funimation hasn't done Closed Captions for their English dubs in a long time (if ever?) You definitely won't find them on any Kai release.

Re: Faithful English covers of DBZ openings, endings, and insert songs
The orange bricks probably included the "movie" theme over Cha-La because it had been used before and Funi were still scared of keeping Japanese songs in their dub in 2007. The Blu-Ray and streaming releases probably only retain it because they can't be bothered to touch their already-rem...

Re: Faithful English covers of DBZ openings, endings, and insert songs
Using the original instrumentals is dependent on Toei providing them with such. More precisely, it's a matter for record labels such as Nippon Columbia and ZAIN RECORDS to handle, since they're the ones with the phonographic copyrights to any such instrumentals. Like anything else related to the mu...

Re: unpopular opinion: kenji yammoto should have never got fired
The basic impression I’m getting is that that entertainment industries in Japan seem to have rather skewed priorities (from a Western perspective) when it comes to what is considered an unforgivable/fireable offense.
